In the news...

It doesn't pay to be a heavy sleeper:

Pay attention to those signs that say "don't touch":

Terri seems to be in the news a lot these days. Too bad she didn't have a feeding tube (or something appropriate) back when she was bulemic, and maybe they wouldn't have to have this debate now. I can't help but wonder how much money and effort is being spent on keeping Terri alive when she doesn't want to be... and how many other lives could have been saved instead. I hope that when it's my time, I get to go with dignity, rather than bickering. No, once again I don't know all the details. But somehow, I don't think Terri's husband would have won all the court cases if Terri's parents had a good argument for their side.

And isn't this just a blast:

Personally, I prefer to think of carpets of wildflowers when I think of Churchill. (I wasn't there during polar bear season.)
